Abu Dhabi Police have warned residents not to be fooled by a message circulating on social media sites and instant messenger applications.
The message claims a gang of criminals is using children as bait to lure people to certain places where they will be harmed or killed.
“Dear brothers and sisters, you should not believe the SMS about children who went missing and were begging passersby to return them home,” Abu Dhabi Police said via its Twitter account. “These are no more than just rumours, but it is important to warn you about it,” police said.
